Sure, everyone knows dogs are man's best friend.
But did you know these furry little fellows also make the best flying copilots as well?
As an incredible organization dedicated to saving the lives of dogs, the volunteer pilots behind Wings Of Rescue know a thing or two about hitting the open skies with some precious canine cargo on board.
Wings Of Rescue is a nonprofit organization that saves shelter animals from euthanasia by rescuing them from overcrowded, high-kill shelters and transporting them across the country to foster homes and rescue centers where they will be able to find loving homes.
Over the past six years, Wings Of Rescue has been able to save 12,000 pups from being euthanized and their high-flying hound endeavors continue to grow each year.
The Wings Of Rescue volunteer pilots use private planes or charter planes to transport these lucky dogs to safety. Flights normally cost $80 per puppy passenger.
Take a look at the photos below to see the incredible Wings Of Rescue pilots.
